1973 Suzuki GT550 Indy 3 Cylinder 2 Stroke First Ride in 10 Years!
After a long nap, it's time to wake up this GT550. In the previous episodes of this series, I cleaned the carburetors, restored the gas tank and installed a new battery, air filters, fuel line with filter and petcock. Then, I started the bike up on the 3rd kick but it smoked like a choochoo train indicating possible blown crank seals. Watch this video to see me take this bike on its first test ride and see if it continues to smoke or not!

Yes ! New tyres. I sold my Gt550 because it drank more than a sailor that hasn’t seen land for 6 months. Just remember - the oil feed works parallel to the throttle! eg; the engine is doing 5000rpm on a closed throttle means it’s getting a supply of oil that’s just sufficient for tick-over. Please think about this. With the engine and ignition turned off you can set the oil-pump setting and you will see after having removed the oil-pump cover what happens when you open and close the throttle. Best wishes from Düsseldorf Sher 😉

Oh, I so miss my GT380s, they were my favourite bikes of all time 😞

Keep the magic 2 strokes alive, fantastic another one resuscitated. You a 2 stroke hero 😂🏆🎖🏅well done, people must not scrap these machines.

Hey my young friend, I rode one of those Suzuki 550 triples back in the day( early 80s) they were quick! New style tires are a must! Gear position indicator was a Suzuki trade mark!!

@AndrewWrubleski 12 дней назад

That's my bike. It hadn't been ridden in almost 30 years. Tim told me you could get it running. Great job

@GoldGuyRides 3 дня назад

Wow, 30 years? That's crazy, I thought it was more like 10! Well it was in surprisingly good shape for not being ridden in 30 years. It runs great, you should be getting it back very soon!

I have a 1972 gt550 in blue, its hands down my favorite ive ever had, sound and power is amazing.

@pauloconnor7951 19 дней назад

That has a rubber mounted engine. Check if mount rubbers are bad; I think they are. I have Kwaka H2 750 . Slightly over bored. Love that thing; it's gorgeous !!!!

@GoldGuyRides 19 дней назад

I'll check the rubbers, thanks.

@michaelblackmore4634 10 дней назад

Nice job on getting it running, if you can get Bridgestone BT45 tyres then this is a good option. I remember back in the 80's a friend of mine had the GT380 was a fun bike as well, keep up the good work

@cookeinar 19 дней назад

I would like to see some new tires, and foam it up with some good cleaner and a good wash. Then ride it like you stole it :)

@GoldGuyRides 19 дней назад

@hacabreracabrera3479 18 дней назад

New tires Mason and then take it on the highway and top it up,wanna see if it does more than my kawasaki kz750 twin.

@CZ350tuner 19 дней назад

I had a GT550A, the version with twin discs & SRIS. It took corners like a drunk carthorse on roller blades. DO NOT EVER SHUT THE THROTTE OR EVEN LIGHTLY TOUCH THE BRAKESS MID CORNER ON A GT550, because the bike will sit up and force the steering straight!! This is mainly due to the flexible frame and swingarm (I had a Dresda box section swingarm installed on my GT550A to save on underwear cleaning bills). .

@GoldGuyRides 19 дней назад

Thanks for the tip, I will remember that. I can't spare any underwear.

Not going to do anything too crazy, just a few rolling burnouts 🤷🏽‍♂️👀😂

@DanteJacobson-vg3br 19 дней назад

You probably had oil in the crank, that had to burn out, from sitting so long

@cambo1200 19 дней назад

You’re absolutely right, that crankcase was full of fuel and oil. Needed an Italian tune up.

@GoldGuyRides 19 дней назад

Yeah I thïnk that is the case as well.

Can’t believe you rode that bike that way after stand for 10 years / not even knowing if the oil pumps are working correctly and it’s not even your bike !!!! 😮 The owner must be pulling his teeth out , gold guy you have shocked me , no respect at all , 😮

@GoldGuyRides 17 дней назад

Watch the previous video, I checked the oil pump and it is working correctly. Also, I have premix in the tank for good measure. Think before you comment.

@matwom 17 дней назад

@@GoldGuyRides That’s just part of my comment , a classic bike like that being abused in that condition , trying to wheelie it and spin the rotted out tyre . Just my opinion mate , not rite

@matwom 17 дней назад

@@GoldGuyRides I can agree with that but at that level of repair/ restoration it’s a disaster waiting to happen to either you or the bike or both . Iv restored many bikes but that was just silly my friend . Keep up the good work and be safe .
